The Leicestershire Repeater Group was formed in April 1975 with the aim of promoting the interests of amateur radio, and in particular to design, build and maintain electronic apparatus known as repeaters, and kindred equipment.

A Repeater is a relay system primarily for mobile and portable radio users. Such as from the car or on foot. Located high up in Charnwood Forest, Leicestershire, our systems extend your range by many miles and beyond the county.

We do this by re-broadcasting your VHF, UHF, microwave or TV signals.

The complex radio beacons and switching equipment are maintained by members and helpers

We welcome membership and donations from anybody who has an interest in our operations, please click here for more information regarding membership or you can make a donation by clicking on the Donate button *Please do not use this button to pay your membership*

We currently operate four repeaters and four beacons, more information on each repeater and beacon (including status) is available by clicking on the ☰ icon at the top left hand corner of this window.

Mobile and Tablet users will find the main navigation menu on the top right of their screen identified by the ☰ icon

Due to an issue with the new logic, the repeater is currently operating in analogue only mode.

The process of converting GB3CF from analogue FM to dual mode operation where the repeater can be accessed by either analogue FM transmissions (with CTCSS) or by using Yaesu System Fusion (C4FM) compatible transceivers is now complete. We received the NoV (Notice of Variation) allowing Fusion operation on CF back in July and our Engineering Manager Nigel M1NAS has been working hard to resolve various issues with the Yaesu repeater.

** Please note ** the new logic does not support 1750hz toneburst for access into the repeater so you must now use CTCSS (77hz) or C4FM (Fusion) to gain access. Many older rigs can have a simple CTCSS board fitted at minimal cost.
